Granada, Nicaragua
Granada is a lot like Leon which is a lot like other colonial cities own here. There are cool buildings with great architecture
and a lot of churches. This place is on the enormous Lago De Nicaragua but it is too polluted to swim in, so... Not much for us to do here but get caught up, spend money, and drink some Tonas. There are hordes of whities, from oldies to backpackers to couples to spring breakers. We stayed here two nights; just long enough for Alex to find a future girlfriend,
and to find out where to go next. Of course, we had to enjoy a few nights out on the town, where we met people from Atlanta, D.C., New York, Sweden, all sorts...
We found a hot little room with two fans at a hotel that didn't have a problem with the dog and caught a massive procession one night where tons of people walked about the town taking turns carrying a huge, heavy looking Jesus statue and beating on drums.
Existing in this heat without an ocean or lake or river to jump in is a bit stupid, so we're off to the beach......
